Animal Collective - Feels (Album)
Feels is a record by Animal Collective which was their follow up to Sung Tongs. I’ll be honest and admit that I think Sung Tongs is an incredibly hard record to follow, but I can thankfully say that I think Animal Collective lived up to the challenge with Feels. …
Heaven in My Woman’s Eyes by Tracy Byrd
When I want a feel good love song, I listen to Heaven in my woman’s eyes by Tracy Byrd. It all about how he couldn’t survive without the heaven in his woman’s eyes. She gets him through the daily junk of life. It’s a great tribute of love from …

D’Addario XL Nickel Round Wound Electric Guitar Strings
I bought a pack of 5 sets of D’Addario XL Nickel Round Wound strings over at my local music store one day because they were on sale for a couple bucks a set. According to the case, they are known as “The Player’s Choice”, and they are apparently the …
Pink Floyd - Apples And Oranges (Song)
Apples And Oranges is a single by Pink Floyd which is one of their earlier singles and is written by original member Syd Barrett. The track starts off with a guitar part which has a strong effect on it which gives an odd sound to the instrument before Barrett …
CRaig David
I haven’t seen Craig David for a while since his last singles that made it to the charts. I have thought about him when a saw a huge billboard of him plastered in the Makati-Mandaluyong Bridge in Makati Metro Manila. Craig david used to release quite a number of …
Shania Twain’s ” The Woman In Me”. A Music Album
Shania Twain is one of those musicians that I grew up listening too. While admittedly she is not my favorite female artist she is one whose music I have come to enjoy and appreciate over the years. ” The Woman In Me” was released in early 1995 and my …

Mr. Jack is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their third record, Steal This Album. The track opens up with a dark guitar part along with some slight background effects and drums which overall gives a sort of eerie vibe, particularly when a second lead …
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
Animal Collective are critical darlings and the penultimate band of modern psychedelia. Their distinct style blends multipart falsetto vocal melodies (a la Beach Boys), hypnotic beats, and electronic experimentation. While Animal Collective exhibits a high degree of computerization in their songs, make no mistake — these songs have a …
Maneater
Maneater by Nelly Furtado is a true song for a lot of chicks now days because they make guys fall in love with them left and right and then they make them do what they want. It kind of sickens me even though I have got guy friends that …
Weezer - Cold Dark World (Song)
Cold Dark World is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled record, otherwise known as The Red Album. Like some of the other songs on The Red Album, this track doesn’t feature Rivers Cuomo singing lead, so it doesn’t exactly have the characteristic power pop sound which …
Muse - Plug In Baby (Song)
Plug In Baby is a track by Muse which appears on Origin Of Symmetry. Along with Knights Of Cydonia, Plug In Baby seems to be one of the more well known songs by Muse, because it appeared on I believe Guitar Hero or possibly Rock Band. However, the difference …
Justin Bieber - Believe (Deluxe Edition)
My thoughts on Justin Bieber?
He has some of the worlds biggest haters but also some of the craziest fans. I believe he deserves the attention he gets, he can actually play instruments while singing and doesn’t fail miserably. I was interested in his fame when I heard he was …
Greatest Hits: Guns N’ Roses album
After watching the show “VH1’s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs” on New Year’s Eve last year and seeing Guns N’ Roses make the number one spot; I decided to check out some of Guns N’ Roses’ albums for myself. However, since I couldn’t actually find the album at the …

Boyzone : No Matter What
Boybands have been really a hit about 6 to 10 years ago, there was Backstreet boys of US, Boyzone of Ireland and some other boybands that made it big in the charts all over the world. The more they sing and compose mushy songs, and the more they smile …

If you’re a resident of Atlanta (or metro Atlanta) then you have probably heard of the event Sol Fusion which takes place on the 4th Friday of each month. Furthermore, if you’ve been lucky enough to attend one of these parties, then you’ll know who DJ Jamad is. …
All For Love by Hillsongs
This song is one of my favorite songs from Hillsongs Australia. It was a very touching song that really sings from the soul. It talks about the love of God for us that He has given His only Son for us to be save.
Darlene Zschech is the popular female …
Animal Collective - Too Soon (Song)
Too Soon is a song by Animal Collective and is the final track on their fourth studio album entitled Here Comes The Indian. The impression I get from Too Soon is that Animal Collective yet again tries to recapture the relaxed sound that they had all throughout Campfire Songs …

Laundry Service Album by Shakira
Shakira is one of those artists who has been extremely successful yet somehow manages to fly under the radar until she has huge hits like “She Wolf” or “Beautiful Liar”. She has always been one of my favorite female recording artists because she is an amazing vocalist as well …
Rush Live in Rio DVD
A great live DVD by a great progressive band is the Rush live in Rio DVD. This is a really good live DVD. It features the three virtuosos playing a big set in Rio and the crowd just goes crazy especially for the big Rush songs like Tom Sawyer, …
Superhuman Chris Brown
I have never loved any R n b artist until Chris Brown. He is truly a brilliant artist with a very lovely and unique voice. Not that other singers don’t have his talent, but Chris Brown sure is one of the best I guess in the modern songs I …
“Lungs” Album by Florence & The Machine
I am a major music junkie. You name an album and I have probably either listened to it or already know the words to each and every one of the songs by heart. That is how much I love listening to music. For awhile, I have not been finding …
That Old Feeling CD
This is a self review from a performer’s point of view.
“That Old Feeling” is a refreshing music CD that is also a welcomed “trip down memory lane”. The CD is a tribute to the days of past, and the music is a direct reflection of those times that so …
Zoolook, 1984 Album by Jean Michel Jarre
When I was a little boy, we had only about five CDs in the household. This was back in mid 1990s. And one of these CDs was this, Zoolook. And I remember how amazed I was, as a seven year old kid, listening to this music. Some of the …
The Beatles - Octopus’s Garden (Song)
Octopus’s Garden is a song by The Beatles which appears on one of their final records, Abbey Road. As you can tell from the title, the track may not come off as the most serious of tracks and it certainly isn’t but you’ll be able to tell this from …
The Unforgettable Fire, 1984 Album by U2
After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …
Green Day - The Static Age (Song)
The Static Age is a track by Green Day which appears on their most recent album, 21st Century Breakdown. The song opens up with an interesting drum rhythm from Cool before Dirnt and Armstrong join in on their respective instruments and play over this drum rhythm. I will admit …
Ke$ha’s New CD-Animal
Well, everyone should know the popular song, Tik Tok by Ke$ha or at least heard of it. It was the number 1 on billboard list for nine consecutive weeks. Her upcoming album, Animal was highly anticipated and hit stores on January 5, 2010. I loved the song Tik Tok …
System Of A Down - Forest (Song)
Forest is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their second studio effort, Toxicity. The track opens up with a somewhat chaotic sounding section before Malakian comes in with an extremely heavy riff on guitar. The verse sort of follows a pattern of having this extremely …
The Fuzz Box
Looking for a new place to practice with my band I jumped into Google (as usual). A place called the FuzzBox came up and took a look into their website. Not much there on the site but decided to go down and look anyway. It’s actually only five minuets …
Darius Rucker
This guy is awesome. If you don’t remember, he’s the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish. He came out with a country album and it’s amazing, simply amazing. His voice is so on the money; it’s unique and beautiful and rich. I really and truly do not like country …
Herbie Hancock’s Gershwin’s World CD
If you are a jazz-lover and you love the vintage songs of George Gershwin, you should purchase this CD.
This CD is a mixture of bebop jazz, free-form jazz, and classical piano music.
Hancock’s original arrangements make this music experience unique.
The old Gershwin vocals: “The Man I Love” and “Summertime” sung …
13, 1999 Blur album
This album is really good, and I think that it deserves a lot more credit, when one looks at it retrospectively. By this I mean that most people associate Blur with their first records, and the songs that were on their first albums, whereas the later ones kind of …
Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album)
Overview - Metallica, also know as The Black Album, is Metallica’s fifth effort and is the album known as combining heavy metal with commercial success. With more mainstream songs, the band was able to merge into the mainstream and become more of a household name rather than an underground …
Mad by Ne-yo
Ive been listening to neyos songs and im still amazed in his way of singigng.
When I was sick and stayed at the couch for several days,facing the tv of …
Metallica - Reload
Overview - Reload, the second half of Metallica’s double album, continues with the style change Metallica introduced on Load but doesn’t really expand or develop it. Generally the album feels basically the same as Load felt for me: some of the songs were brilliant, some were solid, and some …
Bad As Me, 2011 Album by Tom Waits
I was waiting for you release by Tom Waits for a very long time. And I was very happy when it finally came. I really did not believe that Tom Waits is going to release another album and you can imagine how surprised and pleasantly surprised in the first …
Sheryl Crow
One of my favourite musicians when I was much younger was the musician Sheryl Crow. At the time though, I didn’t know what her name was and so I spent years upon years trying to figure out who it was that sung her songs. In fact, I didn’t even …
Deftones Self-Titled CD
The Deftones are getting a very bad rap for their latest album, the self-titled Deftones. It appears that fans are not privy to the new Deftones style. They are much more electronic and less hardcore heavy metal, and there is no trace of Hip Hop in their style at …
Elvis Presley: Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite
If you remember 1973, odds are you remember Elvis Presley. The King released Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite in that very year. There’s some great songs on this classic live album. And you get to hear Elvis’ voice at its finest, when he’s live and really singing to his …
“On the Edge” song by Lady Gaga
While some might have negative opinions about Lady Gaga’s wardrobe, from her outrageous makeup to her flashy outfits and hair, there is no denying her talent in song. Her recent song, which has been played on American Idol and time and time again on the radio, called “On the …
Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Pt. 2 (song)
“Shook Ones Pt. 2″ is the number 1 single by Mobb Deep. This was the reason you bought “The Infamous”. What made it even more enjoyable is that the album happened to be just as fantastic as the song. “Shook Ones Pt. 2″ is the number reason that put …
System Of A Down - Soil (Song)
Soil is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their self-titled debut record. The track opens up with a quick guitar riff which has a nice sound to it but actually doesn’t start out too aggressively. However, once the bass and drums start up the guitar …
Flying the Corporate Jet - Nine Days album
If you are looking for some different music to listen to, I would strongly suggest the album put out in 2003, by Nine Days. This is the band that brought you “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” back in 2001, and they’ve continued making music since then, even though …
Marshall JCM 2000 Head
I recently purchased a very good marshall head that may have had a ripped logo and was torn and used but I really liked the professional tone to it. It was only 600 dollars and was a Marshall JCM 2000 super lead from 2004. I also knew this was …
Radiohead - Fitter Happier (Song)
Fitter Happier is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. Opening up in a very unorthodox manner, the track features a robotic voice reading off some words which is actually very prominent throughout the majority of this track. After the robotic voice goes on for …
